Bipartisan Coalition in Georgia Wants to Kill the Free Market

Ironically, instead of asking that they be deregulated, they want to jack up regulations on the new services to shut down the competition. And, of course, they have found a bunch of Republicans to help them with some Democrats thrown in for good measure.Citizens in Georgia need to act quick to stop this. The legislation, HB 907, is sponsored by the people below. Beyond them, if you live in Georgia, tell your legislator it is a bad idea.
